(http://emaniah.com) This new video on Emaniah's website is an excerpt from a show in a public school where Emaniah took an audience of elementary school children and--in one 45 minute session--taught them the history of the steel drum, explained how to make them, how they work ...and formed them into a steel drum band playing with him on stage--while he sang! Emaniah brings his world to you.... The liquid melody in the sounds of his custom-made Steel Drums, will enchant you. "Beating Pan"--as the Islanders of Trinidad call it--is the newest musical experience of our time. To Emaniah, the playing of these magical instruments comes is a joy that he shares with a playful expertise rarely seen these days. Emaniah is in a class all by himself. He is the only known performer that simultaneously sings and accompanies himself on steel drums using six mallets...an aquired dexterity that only compliments the slight of hand magical tricks he warms up the audience with.As a one man band... in ensemble with other steel drummers, or playing romantic jazz and oldies with sax, bass, drums, etc--send him anywhere, put him anyplace....Emaniah is a guaranteed event planner's dream..."a real Showstopper!" Emaniah is also an accomplished Portriat Artist--commissioned recently to do the mural for Houston's iFest Main Stage backdrop.
